Development of a glasses-free 21-inch high resolution 3D display
In response to strong demand from the market, we have developed a
21-inch high-resolution 3D display that allows 3D images to be seen and
enjoyed anywhere without glasses.
We doubled production capacity for power
devices in FY2010 by investing in the 8-inch
production facility at Kaga Toshiba Electronics Co.,
Ltd. a manufacturing subsidiary.
In December 2010 we reorganized the
System LSI Division into the Logic LSI Division,
focused on cutting-edge LSI, and the Analog and
Imaging IC Division. This reorganization will
support quick decision making and efficient use of
management resources and improve profit.
The Logic LSI Division continues an asset-lite
strategy. In April 2011, we transferred equipment
from a manufacturing subsidiary to Sony
Semiconductor Kyushu Corp. For cutting-edge
products, we now focus on design and
development and are expanding the use of
foundries.
The Analog and Imaging IC Division will
make the most of the existing fabrication facilities.
By boosting production efficiency, we will improve
profitability.
Moving forward, we will continue to lead in
technology development, to develop
differentiated products and to focus on
maximizing investment efficiency.
We bring the performance and energy-saving
advantages of low temperature polysilicon TFT
(thin film transistor) technology to small- and
medium-sized displays for applications ranging
from smartphones and other portable products to
car navigation systems and industrial uses.
In FY2010 our markets shifted into an
expansionary phase, centered on demand for
mobile devices for overseas markets. In this
environment, we continued systematic
restructuring and in-house reforms focused on
cutting fixed costs. Measures included the July
2010 transfer of ownership of Advanced Flat Panel
Display Co., a Singapore facility for PC displays, to a
Taiwanese company.
Looking to the future, we broke ground for a
new LCD production facility in Ishikawa Prefecture
in March 2011. This will help us to channel
management resources into growth areas, such as
displays for mobile devices and vehicles.
The result of these and other factors was that
in FY2010 we secured significantly increased sales
and brought operating income back into the black.
Damage from the March 11 earthquake did
temporarily halt production at our plant in Fukaya
City, north of Tokyo, but full operations were
resumed by the end of April.
Going forward we will continue to
strengthen our competitiveness in growth areas,
use cost-cutting measures to establish a stable
earnings base and direct our leading-edge
technical expertise to the development of LCDs for
a wide range of equipment.
Toshiba Mobile Display Co., Ltd.
Note: The Semiconductor Company and Storage Products Company
were reorganized into a new in-house company, Semiconductor &
Storage Products Company, on July 1, 2011.
